Don't look now, but Gibson is no Longer the starter we should be worrying about exiling.
I'll believe it after a few more months.
Holy cows Joe Mauer's defense!
Missed it. What happened?
ball lined to the left of Mauer, he sprawled out for it and stopped it, flipped to Gibby for the out.
Gibson with 4 Ks in 4 innings? Whoa. I guess it's Good Gibson tonight. We'll see if he can actually complete 6 innings for once. It looked like the 4th he started to go back to his annoying nibbling ways a little bit, but he at least got out of the inning.
Adrianza has been on base twice tonight. It's noteworthy that he keeps starting over Escobar, and he keeps hitting. His rep is as a good glove, weak bat, but he's hit well so far. I haven't seen much on defense either way in a small sample size.
If he even bottoms at .260 average, his glove seems good enough to warrant starting everyday
That's his reputation anyways. However, I think Polanco will hit better than he has so far and his defense has been better than expected.
clown show
What's with all the popups? Bergman for his career is slightly below average in inducing popups.
Cue the Keystone Cops music.
Not sure if this has been mentioned, but I believe this is the Free Game of the Day on MLB.tv.
Here's the Gibson I know and abhor. Two-run lead and runner at third one out, pitches around No. 9 hitter and walks him to put tying run on base with the top of the order coming up instead of going after the ninth hitter and not worrying about giving up a run. I'll be surprised if Powell doesn't score to tie it now.
Byron Buxton with another hohum catch
He was the only thing preventing Powell scoring, and I'm sure the other runner from first would have scored as well. Neither of them should have been on base.
Nice game overall by Gibson. And good job by Belisle. I now can exhale.
Fellas, I'm falling asleep here. Not feeling great about this lead, I can't stick around for something to happen to change my uneasy mind.
Bring it home.
Wow. Defense keeps bailing the Twins out tonight. I think the pitch Zunino got tonight was worse than the one he hit out to win it last night. Nice to see the Twins' luck changing a bit, hopefully.
Buxton is fast.
That's why I think he only needs to become average at reaching base to become a star.
Twins 0-for-832 tonight with RISP, or so it seems.
Twins were 1 "bad" pitch away from winning 2 of 3 games on the road against a red-hot team without Santana or Berrios starting a game in the series. If Twins win 2 of 3 in San Francisco, they will have a 6-4 road trip.
Sano has a batting average over .300, an on-base average over .400 and a slugging average over .600. In the expansion era, only 4 players have done that in their age 24 season or younger: Pujols (4 times), A-Rod, Griffey and Bryce Harper. No Twins player has ever done it in a full season at any age.
JASON CASTRO!
